‘Alien 5’ Concept Art Reveals More Of Neill Blomkamp’s Scrapped Sequel To ‘Aliens’

We’ve seen lots of concept art for this scrapped Alien 5 movie over the years, but AVP Galaxy (via Bloody-Disgusting) unearthed some more today that we’d never seen before. The site found that concept artist Geoffroy Thoorens had recently re-uploaded several pieces from the development of this movie that we’d seen already to his personal website, but there were a couple of unfamiliar pieces thrown into this batch of artwork as well. Here is a close look at those two pieces.
That top photo would prove somewhat prophetic, since even though Sigourney Weaver has not yet returned to the world of Alien, she’s jumped into the deep end of James Cameron’s weird Avatar sequel pool and was photographed last floating through a barrage of ping pong balls last fall. I’m honestly not sure what we’re looking at in that second photo: previous concept art pinpoints this location as “Weyland” and this one is specifically captured “Fire Area,” but I don’t know exactly what that means and I can’t quite wrap my head around what is happening here. A Xenomorph is looking on as…a giant Xenomorph…rips apart…a ship? Another type of alien? It’s hard to say.
